he has received no consideration,
having lent his name or credit for
the accommodation of the holder
is fully bound to all other parties as
if there were.a good consideration.
No evidence may be introduced
to contradict or vary a written con-
tract, but such evidence may be
received in order to explain the
contract when it is in need of explain
alton.
If one holding a check as payee
or otherwise transfer it to another,
he has a right to insist that the
check be presented that day, or, at
the furthest, the day following.
Checks and drafts should be pre-
sented during business hours, but in
this country, except in cases of banks
the time extends through the day
and evening.
An oral agreement must be proved
by evidence. A written agreement
proves itself. The law prefers writ
ten to oral evidence, because of it's
precision
value received is usually, and
should be, written in a note, but is
not essential. If not written it is
presumed by the law, or may be
supplied by proof:
If a note is lost or stolen it does
not release the maker. He must
pay it, if the consideration for which
it was given and the account can
be proven.
If the letter containing the pro-
test of non-payment be put in the
postoffice, any miscarriage does not
affect the party giving notice.
A note endorsed in bank-the
name of the endorser only written
is transferable by delivery, the same
as if made payable to bearer.
Each individual in a partnership
is responsible for the whole amount
Of debts of the firm, except in cases
of special partnership.
An agreement without considera-
ton is void a note made on Sunday
is void contracts made on Sunday
cannot be enforced.
If a drawer of a check or draft
has changed his residence the hol-
der must use all reasonable diligence
to find him.
A note made by a minor is void
a contract with a minor is void a
contract made with a lunatic is void.
The time of payment of a note
must not depend upon contingency.
The promise must be absolute.
An indorsee has a right of action
against all whose names were on the
bill when he received it.
Notice of protest may be sent
either to the place of business or of
residence of the party notified.
A note obtained by fraud or from
a person in the state of intoxication
cannot be collected.
A bill may be written on any
paper or substitute for it, either
with ink or pencil.

and the unprecedented demand for
them from all parts Of the country
testlfies stronger than words to their
great popularity; and the universal
testimony of thousands Of families,
hotels, restaurants, public and pri-
vate institutions now using the
"Home Comfort" is that they are
not only unsurpassed, but unequaled
by any other cooking apparatus
upon the market.
The following are some Of the
names of parties in Forsyth and
adjoining counties who have pur-
chased and use the Home Comfort
Wrought Iron Range:
TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.
We, the undersigned citizens of
Forsyth and adjoining counties,
having each purchased Of the sales
men of the Wrought Iron Range
Company, of St. Louis, No, n of
their celebrated Home Comfort
Cooking Ranges, take great pleasure
in recommending them to our friends
and neighbors. Having given them
a fair trial, we pronounce them a
grand succe and in every respect
as good as represented by the sales
men. We are perfectly satisfied with
our purchase. We believe them to
be superior in every way to cast
iron stoves and in the long run
much the cheapest. In addition to
their good baking qualities and econ
omy of fuel, they furnish the great
est abundance of hot water, which
is a very great convenience. In
conclusion will say, buy a Home
Comfort Range and we will guaran-
tee you will not regret the purchase.

at the beginning Of this week.
But commemorate progress has been
made during the last two days, aud there
IS every reason to believe that by Fri
day noon Congress will be ready to ad-
journ, leaving behind It comparatively
wOrths record in the way Of accomplished
legislation. 1t makes much better rec
ord in this respect than some recent
Congresses. Among the COmmendable
measures that can be placed 20 its credit
are these: The much needed presi
dental succession law; a law in the in
terest of the merchant marine; a law
providing for a new national library
building; the bill reducing money order
fees; measure FORGETTING some millions
Of acres of unearIed land grants and re-
storing them TO the pubic domain, and a
generous appropriation 20 rehabllitate the
navy. These can all be credited to the
first session of this Congress.
The present session has enacted an in
portaat law sllOtting lsnds in severalty 10
Indians; measure extending the free de-
livery system, the Interstate commerce
commission law and the labor arbitration
law. Compared with the accomplishments
OF previous Congresses in the way Of legiS-
lation affecting general interests for the
past dozen or more years, this is re-
record.
